Added Auto Update for Protein data file.
EM no longer needs write access to client folder.
This version has some fairly major internal changes added to take care of the two major new features in EM. Please be sure and let me know if you notice anything weird.
EM will now automatically check for protein data file updates when you have the Check For New EM III updates box checked in the options menu. When EM finds that there is a newer version than the one you have, it will download it and install the file. Within 30-60 seconds of doing that EM should be updated with the latest information available. The next frame update will display any new information. If you want to force this update to happen, go to the options menu and remove the check from the box and then select it again. This will restart the auto update timer from zero which is the same as restarting EM. If there is a new update out there, EM will get it.
For those that have been concerned about having the F@H client folder set with read/write access, you now no longer need to have write access to your F@H client folders. This may affect your display of the information displayed about the type of CPU and its speed. You will have to create this file (speed.emd) yourself and you will not be able to update the file using EM while write access permission is off. When you first set up EM, you might want to turn on write access. Once you finish adding your boxes, save and exit the options menu, then turn off the write access. EM will function normally. The file structure for some Linux and OSX files is different than windows and EM is doing a conversion on those files. EM was using the folder to write back newly configured data, but that is no longer needed, so write access is not necessary anymore. To make a speed.emd file, just use notepad to make one line containing the CPU Type and Speed in Mhz like this:
AMD: 1645 Mhz or Intel: 2466 Mhz
It's just a single line of info. If you're running Windows, any version, you can put the speed.exe and the EMGetCPUinf.dll files into the F@H client folder and run the speed.exe program. It will create the speed.emd file with the information it gets from your CPU.
I hope this release will ease the minds of those folks who either can't allow write access or don't want to allow write access to their Folding folders.
Please remember to press the old donate button and give me a hand with the costs involved with the web site if you can. Many of you have donated and it is very much appreciated. Thanks also to those that have donated other things like protein files, detailed bug reports, graphics, and also those that worked so hard on the language files that help make EM easier to understand for those that do not speak english. Danish should be available soon, and I am working on a Portuguese translation also. I may even have a Russian translation before long. I'm also working on more features... it never ends.
Enjoy the latest and greatest!
